Laser Gum Treatment

The advancement of dental laser technology has revolutionized modern dentistry, offering a wide range of treatments for various dental issues. Dental lasers are now commonly used for procedures such as treating tooth decay, periodontal disease, performing biopsies, removing oral lesions, curing restorative materials, and activating teeth whitening systems.

One of the key benefits of dental lasers is their ability to combine laser energy with water and air, allowing for safe cutting and shaping of soft or hard tissues in the mouth. By exciting water molecules in the tooth, the laser enables precise cutting without the need for direct contact, heat, vibration, or pressure. This not only minimizes discomfort during the procedure but also reduces the reliance on dental anesthesia. Additionally, dental lasers help alleviate anxiety in patients who fear dental work, minimize post-operative bleeding and swelling, and preserve healthy tooth structure during decay removal.

However, it is important to understand that dental lasers may not be suitable for every dental procedure.
